Star Lily – 4"X4" mixed media on masonite.
These lilies grow perrenially in my flower bed next to our rock fountain. I love the variations in color from the bright yellow centers to the pink tips.
I used Golden Crackle Paste to add texture to the petals before I began to paint. The challenge was the center stamens and differenciating each petal.
I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn't finding the time.
It took a while to commit to it, but a year later, I decided I just had to make the time and I enrolled in some fine art acrylic painting classes. Under my teacher, Sharon Moore-Foster, I gained confidence and found my soul's voice through my paintings.
Now I am fully committed to expressing myself through my fine art by creating one miniature painting to mark each passing day – to leave my mark in this world.
